New to Hipcamp, but want to share my beautiful property with others. Located on the bank of the Rio Grande River with access to the river at all times. Property is rustic now, but improvements will continue to be made as time goes on. Come help me develop this beautiful location into the best Hipcamp in New Mexico.
Just 14 miles of the Chile Capital of the World, Hatch, NM, come during chile harvest to take home fresh green chile right out of the field.
21 miles from Las Cruces, where you will find plenty of events and entertainment, should you so desire. Spaceport, America, T or C, White Sands are all within a day's drive, and Fort Selden is just a few miles down the road, as is Blue Moon Bar and Grill.
My dad first came to this property as a farm hand for the elderly couple who owned it. This was in the 1930's. He met my mother, who lived 6 miles down the road, in 1939. She was just 14. Every Sunday he would ride those 6 miles to have supper with her and her family and in 1940, 2 weeks after her 16th birthday, they married. They traveled around before coming back here, buying a small portion of this farm from the elderly owners and farming the rest for them, but in 1953, the man died (his name was Ernest Ward) in the small concrete house I now use for storage, that my dad had built for he and his wife when he first came to work for them. My parents built a home for his widow in Hatch (14 miles) and bought the farm from her. My family has owned it since. I was gone for 31 years, but returned to the land and place I love and plan to stay here till I die!

Leasburg Dam State Park has the most breathtaking views on the Rio Grande! Fish off the side of your canoe while the sun sets behind the mountains, blazing the sagebrush red and orange. Explore the trails and watch for birds and wildlife, or take your camera over to the cactus garden for those classic southwestern shots. There’s lots of campgrounds to rest up when the day is over, but you won’t wanna miss the show after the sun goes down. Leasburg Dam has an observatory and for good reason; the night sky out here is second to none and the park often offers Night Sky programs and walks. This is a win-win for those looking for fun and beauty on the water.

Wonderful place to stay and explore the surrounding area. We stayed in site 1 which felt very private and we loved that they had full hookups. Would highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again.

Great spot, really private. I did hear loud sounds throughout the night and morning from an adjacent property. Keep in mind, it's a working farm. My dogs loved running the fence with the owners' dog!

Easy to get to with ample space to maneuver our 27' class A and tow vehicle to our site one. Given the fact that site 2 was vacant we were able to drive thru that site to site 1. However, there is ample space to get to either site even if one is occupied.
Ray and Lucille were wonderful hosts and very accommodating. We have a young dog who is new to us and still in training. Their dogs and ours were frequently "talking" to one another due to the proximity of their fenced private area and site 1. After site 2 was vacated by an over nighters rv we switched to site 2 which was a better fit for all.
The location of Pecan Grove was perfect for our week-long getaway. Peaceful, relaxing, cool temps, days trips to: Old Mesilla, Hatch, White Sands NP, Alamogordo, Organ Mtns.
We would stay at Ray and Lucille's anytime again! No hesitations.

Very nice spot and plenty of space. Hookups were very easy to access with lighting available right above the hookups that we could control. Host was there when we arrived and assisted us with backing in and was readily available if we had any questions. Very nice site and very quiet location. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Ray’s Pecan Orchard site was amazing! So clean and tight! Off the beaten path. Right by their house, but private at the same time. Safe! Enjoyable. Peaceful. Quiet. Electric water and sewer. Just right. I was blessed. Thank you Ray.

Our GPS tried to route us down a dirt road to get to the spot so don’t follow that. The address is marked clearly off the main road.

Such easy access and the surroundings were much beyond what we had hoped for. We were fortunate enough to have a thunderstorm roll through and it really cooled things off, plus the sound of rain is always a plus in our book.
